Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, Angel C. Sanchez, 53, announced that he submitted his required nomination papers seeking the Milwaukee County Supervisor District 14 seat. Sanchez is a former Milwaukee Alderman for the 12th Aldermanic District and has been a candidate fir the State Senate (2022) and State Assembly (2020) and the Milwaukee County School Board (2013).

Sanchez told Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) on Tuesday that if elected, he will work with anyone for Milwaukee County to receive its fair share of share revenue. 

Milwaukee County pays nearly $3 billion in share revenues per year to the State and the State only returns $250 million to operate per year and the County falls on a $20 million in deficit per year.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley has proposed a 1% tax increase for Milwaukee County taxpayers, which already pay more of their share of taxes. Crowley should be focused instead in getting more of the Milwaukee County share revenue for the County to operate without a deficit than raise taxes.

Former Milwaukee County Supervisor, currently the Wisconsin State Assembly Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez attempted to address the unfair share revenue that the State takes from Milwaukee when she was a Supervisor, but to date,  she hasn't followed through for County taxpayers at the State Assembly. Also, the current Milwaukee County Supervisor Juan Miguel Martinez hasn't addressed the unfair share revenues that the County pays the State each year. Marisabel Cabrera, another State Assembly Representative from Milwaukee County hasn't either made any effort in her multiple terms in office to help return more of the share revenue to the County.

To be fair about share revenue taxes payments to State, the City of Milwaukee also pays its share of share revenue and get less per year to operate efficiently. Neither Alderman Jose G. Perez, currently the President of the Common Council and Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa haven't made any effort to address the high share revenue that the City pays the State and to help the City to get its fair share revenue to avoid raising taxes.

The two other candidates for the Milwaukee County Supervisor District 14 are Caroline Gomez-Tom, 34, originally from Racine and Travis J. Hope, 44.

Gomez-Tom works for the Milwaukee Department of Health and previously worked at the Sixteenth Community Health Centers.

Hope is a SOC Community Organizer/Safety Lead, according to the Southside Organizing Center Facebook post 2020.

The Special Primary Election will be held on April 4, 2023 and Special Election will be held on May 2, 2023, the winner on the election will fill the remainder of the incumbent's two-year term, which expires on April 14, 2024.

Milwaukee Police Officer Marco A. López, 40, And Former Officer Donald W. Krueger, 49, Charged With Felonies In Connection With The February 2022 In-custody Death Of Keishon D. Thomas, 20

Thomas died from acute mixed drug intoxication of fentanyl, cocaine and meth at Milwaukee Police District Station 5 in 2022, where former Police Officer Krueger allegedly abused the victim while in custody by not providing medical attention and Officer López failed at least 10 times during his shift to monitor Keishon every 15 minutes including other inmates and López falsified the police cell block booking log that he monitored the victim and other inmates.

February 24, 2023

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Friday, the Milwaukee Police Department reported that the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office filed criminal charges against Police Officer Marco A. López, 40, and former Police Officer Donald W. Krueger, 49, in connection with the death of Keishon D. Thomas, 20, while in police custody.  

Donald W. Krueger was charged with one felony count of abuse of resident of penal facility. If convicted, Krueger could face up to 3 years, 6 months in prison and could be fined up to $10,000. He was placed on full suspension at the time of the incident; however, he retired in November of 2022 with 25 years of service.  

Police Officer López was charged with one felony count of misconduct in public office (false entry). If convicted, López could face up to 3 years, 6 months in prison and could be fined up to $10,000. Officer López has over 12 years of service with the department. Officer López is currently on full suspension.  

The criminal investigation was led by the Milwaukee Area Investigative Team. The Waukesha Police Department was the lead agency.   

According to the criminal complaint, Krueger allegedly abused Keishon while in custody by not monitoring and providing medical attention after he swallowed suspected drugs. Krueger watched Keishon until López came in on duty in the following shift and then a third officer from another shift discovered that Keishon had died while in custody.

According to the criminal complaint, Officer López was to check Keishon and other individuals (inmates) in custody at the District Station 5 every 15 minutes during his shift. Video surveillance footage from inside the station showed that López did not check on the inmates including Keishon at least 10 times who were in custody.

Officer López was found to have falsely logged in the cell block booking sheet that he in fact checked on the inmates that were locked up, when in fact he did not.

The criminal investigation final determination found that Krueger neglected Keishon, who was confined at the station. He neglected Keishon by failing to garner him medical attention, despite seeing Keishon dry heave multiple times, being informed Keishon had recently ingested multiple controlled substances, noting Keishon's profuse sweating, and stating he was going to call an ambulance. Keishon ultimately died in custody at the district station. As a Milwaukee Police Officer, López made entries on the official booking sheet which were false. These entries reflected numerous inmate checks and inmate counts that never occurred. These false entries were material as the record of inmate checks is necessary to ensure the well-being of inmates and the appropriate functioning of the district station.

Frivolous Felony Charges And Warrant Filed Against Julie Valadez In Erroneous Child Placement Waukesha County Divorce Case, Which Her Children Were Placed Illegally With Domestic Violence Abuser

Julie Valadez is now wanted in Wisconsin on multiple felony charges steming from an illegal decision by Waukesha County family court Judge Michael J. Abrahamian who initially decided to place her 4 special needs children with their domestic violence abuser, Ricardo Valadez against state law.

By H. Nelson Goodson 
Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

February 23, 2023

Waukesha, Wisconsin - On February 3, 2023, Julie C. Valadez, 34, was frivolously charged by Walworth County Deputy D.A. James T. Sempf and Walworth County Judge Daniel S. Johnson with multiple felony counts for interfere with child custody of other parent including party to a crime and interfere with custody after custody order including party to a crime.

If convicted on the frivolous charges, Valadez is facing up to 12 years and 6 months in prison and up to $25,000 in fines for each count.

It only happens in Walworth and Waukesha Counties, we can't make this up folks, which corrupt and rogue Waukesha County family court Judge Michael J. Abrahamian decides in the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorce case # 2018FA000296 to illegally place 4 of the special needs Valadez children with their domestic violence abusive father Ricardo. Julie, their mother appealed Aprahamian's decision with the Wisconsin Court of Appeals and the appeals court agreed with Julie in multiple rulings that Aprahamian decision was erroneous and should be reversed. Judge Aprahamian had to recuse himself from the divorce case. Then Ralph M. Ramirez, another corrupt and rogue judge assigned to the case decides to keep Judge Aprahamian's decision in place because according to him, Aprahamian is an "intelligent judge" and Ramirez begins a whole new hearing trial ignoring the Wisconsin State Court of Appeals ruling that Aprahamian illegally place the 4 Valadez children with the abuser in the divorce case. Julie has never been found to be an unfit mother by either family court. (The Julie Valadez story https://youtu.be/lVjb_6tFG8A)

The Wisconsin Court of Appeals District II on February 2, 2022 ruled that Waukesha County Judge Aprahamian erred in removing full custody from Julie in the divorce case and awarded full custody of their children to the father who was found to be a known domestic abuser and couldn't prove in court that he had complied with state law by submitting to a state certified batterer's treatment program and completing the program as required by law.

With the frivolous felony charges filed against Julie, it will certainly raise the legal questions, were Judges Aprahamian and Ramirez decisions to place and keep the 4 Valadez children with the abuser legal under State law? Under what legal precedent law case citing did Judge Ramirez based his decision not to return the 4 Valadez children to Julie and if any, why didn't he allow joint custody of the children in the divorce case?  It also seems that both Walworth County D.A. Sempf and Judge Johnson didn't do their homework to determine who actually has legal custody of the 4 Valadez children. Sempf and Johnson should not have been scammed by the Waukesha County Kangaroo family court fiasco.

There has never been a divorce case in Wisconsin that has set precedent in which a domestic abusive victim (wife) who decides to divorce her abusive husband automatically loses custody of her children without due process.

In Julie's case, Judge Aprahamian issued a contempt order against Julie and threaten to incarcerate her for simply refusing to take a psychological examine, which her abusive husband was not ordered to take one. So, Aprahamian decided to place the 4 Valadez children with their abusive father, since Aprahamian intended to incarcerate Julie. Julie appealed Aprahamian's contempt order and again, the Wisconsin State Court of Appeals reversed Judge Aprahamian's contempt order and arrest attempt, but Aprahamian never recanted his placement decision to allow Julie with joint custody of the Valadez children.

In an exclusive video made public by Protective Makua, Ethan Valadez, 15, who ran away from his abusive father says that his father, Ricardo physically abused his mother. In the YouTube video also shows Ricardo telling several police officers that he didn't want Ethan in the house. https://youtu.be/hiCIdQaAIeM

One point to make, Julie Valadez was out of the country when Ethan ran away and she is now being blamed for Ethan's leaving his abusive father on January 10, 2023. While in Wisconsin, the Waukesha County Clerk on multiple times released her address, which she was on protective status under state law for domestic violence abusive victims after filing a restraining order against Ricardo who had threatened to kill her, if she dated anyone else.

How corrupt is the Waukesha County family court system, which is not being held accountable? https://youtu.be/d8sCV-9HDec

Julie is the first domestic violence abused victim in a divorce case to expose the wide spread corruption of the Waukesha County family court under Waukesha County Chief Judge Jennifer R. Dorow who also made an erroneous ruling in the Valadez case allowing the placement of the 4 Valadez children with the abuser.

Also involved in the Waukesha County family court corruption is Guardian Ad Litem Attorney Molly J. Jasmer who fabricated a document to keep Julie from visiting her son at a hospital. 

Julie even sent a letter to the Wisconsin Attorney General requesting an investigation to the corruption at the Waukesha County family court, which ignores to follow both state laws and Wisconsin State Court of Appeals rulings in the Valadez divorce case.

In July 2021, Julie wrote a 6-page letter to Wisconsin Attorney General (WIAG) Josh Kaul requesting an urgent investigation targeted at the Waukesha County Courthouse for alleged corruption and illegal behavior of Judge Aprahamian, which Julie claimed that he was engaged in retaliation against her for filing a federal case against him and attorney Molly J. Jasmer (Case: 2:21-cv-00795) claiming that Judge Aprahamian attempted to force her to sign a document when in fact Julie had the option not to sign such a document under federal law. Julie also wrote, "I am requesting an investigation into the criminal behavior of Molly Jasmer for the two police reports I have from the Wauwatosa Police Department for Molly drafting herself a document that she presented to the hospital where my son was admitted as a legal document without a judges signature misleading the hospital to illegally withhold my son... For Molly to draft a document herself and present it to the hospital as a legal order is a criminal offense and needs to be investigated."

WIAG Kaul never launched an investigation into the alleged corruption that was taking place at the Waukesha County family court in connection with the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorce case.

Kathryn Xian, the Executive Director from Protective Makua who released YouTube videos about Julie's and Ethan's abusive plight in Wisconsin posted the following social media statement, "Family courts should not have the power to criminally penalize innocent mothers because they lack the same standards of evidence, procedure, and constitutional tenets as criminal courts. Not that criminal courts are much better."

"However, Waukesha family court presiding judge Ralph Ramirez, in Julie Valadez’s case, is committing gross constitutional violations daily. He has effectively relitigated already adjudged facts to erase Julie’s rights as a victim of domestic abuse by her ex, Ricardo Valadez, and falsified the record to defame and vilify her. 

"Now, because of Ramirez, Julie has been unjustly criminalized. This is nothing less than a modern-day witch hunt. Hold Judge Ramirez and his fascist colleagues accountable. #Justice4Julie"


The criminal complaint says that Julie contacted the FBI about the illegal acts by the Waukesha County family court judges, which the FBI agent didn't say, if they had initiated a corruption probe against the judges and GALs.

Jennifer R. Dorow, Waukesha County Chief Judge Rejected By Voters In The Primary Election 2023 For The Wisconsin State Supreme Court

Dorow was rejected by Wisconsin voters on Tuesday's Primary Election 2023.

February 22, 2023

Waukesha,  Wisconsin- On Tuesday, Wisconsin voters rejected Waukesha County Chief Judge Jennifer R. Dorow (a known Republican and an alleged Trump supporter) for the Wisconsin State Supreme Court 2023. 

Dorow is well known for her erroneous ruling that allowed both corrupt and rogue Waukesha County family court Judges Michael J. Abrahamian and Ralph M. Ramirez to keep placement of the 4 Valadez children (all with special needs) with a known domestic violence abuser, their father Ricardo Valadez and have not allowed for their mother, Julie Valadez to have custody of her children after she won multiple appeals in the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorce case # 2018FA000296.

Also Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) Attorney Molly J. Jasmer has engaged in alleged acts deemed questionable, falsifying a documented to keep Julie from visiting  her son in the hospital and unethical, according to Julie who has documented her case against Judges Aprahamian, Ramirez and GAL Jasmer in Waukesha County.

In July 2021, Julie wrote a 6-page letter to Wisconsin Attorney General (WIAG) Josh Kaul requesting an urgent investigation targeted at the Waukesha County Courthouse for alleged corruption and illegal behavior of Judge Aprahamian, which Julie claimed that he was engaged in retaliation against her for filing a federal case against him and attorney Molly J. Jasmer (Case: 2:21-cv-00795) claiming that Judge Aprahamian attempted to force her to sign a document when in fact Julie had the option not to sign such a document under federal law. Julie also wrote, "I am requesting an investigation into the criminal behavior of Molly Jasmer for the two police reports I have from the Wauwatosa Police Department for Molly drafting herself a document that she presented to the hospital where my son was admitted as a legal document without a judges signature misleading the hospital to illegally withhold my son... For Molly to draft a document herself and present it to the hospital as a legal order is a criminal offense and needs to be investigated."

Julie has never been found to be an unfit mother during the divorce case in court.

In brief: 15-year old Ethan B. Valadez runs away from abusive dad, Ricardo Valadez. Mom, Julie Valadez unlawfully charged with over 10-year prison term by corrupt Waukesha County Judge Ralph Ramirez who failed to follow state laws and return the four Valadez children to their mom in the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorce case in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

On January 10, 2023,  Ethan ran away from his abusive father. In a post dated January 10 by the Walworth County Scanner announcing the missing report of Ethan B. Valadez, Ethan's aunt, Lore Valadez de Aranda falsely posted on the comment thread that Ethan's mom, "Julie has been found over and over as an unfit mom." Julie Valadez has never been found to be an unfit mother by Waukesha County family court Judge Michael J. Abrahamian nor Judge Ralph M. Ramirez, the current judge in the case. Corrupt Judge Aprahamian illegally placed the four Valadez children with the abusive father, which Aprahamian failed to protect the children under state laws. Julie appealed his decision and the WI Court of Appeals ruled that Aprahamian indeed violated state law and his decision should be reversed. Aprahamian removed himself from the case after committing multiple illegal rulings and Judge Ramirez took over and he failed to reunite the four children with Julie and kept Abrahamian's decision to keep the children with the abusive father.

At Least 35 Milwaukee Department Of Public Works-Water Works Employees Called In Sick On Friday Due To Understaff And Low Wage Flu

More than 35 Department of Public Works-Water Works employees who replace broken freshwater main pipes are expected to stay off work until Wednesday, according to City of Milwaukee sources.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Friday, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) has learned through City of Milwaukee sources that at least 35 Department of Public Works (DPW) Water Works employees who replace broken water main pipes called in sick and more than 35 of those employees are expected to stay off work until Wednesday.

The DPW Water Works employees are staying off work during the Super Bowl game weekend due to being understaff and low wages, in other words the Water Works flu has struck the City.

The DPW and Water Works provides service to 90,000 customers in the City. 

Currently, there are at least 70,000 homes with toxic lead pipe laterals connected to the water mains in the City of Milwaukee, which Black and Latinos reside in most of those homes with lead laterals. The Water Works employees manage to remove about 500 lead laterals per year and both the Water Works employees and private contractors in a combined effort get to remove nearly 1,000 per year. 

Also, nearly ten water break pipe replacement calls are done per week by the Water Works.

There are about 2,000 miles of old water pipe mains from the WWII era that need to be remove in the City of Milwaukee and only about 17 to 20 miles per year gets replaced.

100's of fire hydrants that have been displaced or broken due to reckless driving crashes and etc. around the City of Milwaukee have not been replaced within 24 hours by the Water Works due to a shortage of employees to prevent a fire hazard for the public and Milwaukee Fire Department when there is no fire hydrant to connect their fire engines to battle fires. Currently, it takes between several weeks to up to 7 months to replace a hydrant. For some vintage hydrants, parts are no longer available due to being to old and a new hydrant with the connecting pipes to the water main have to be replaced.

Apparently, there is no protocol for police and the fire department to report broken fire hydrants to the DPW-Water Works to schedule replacements, according to City sources.


Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office Pronounced Deaths Of MPD Officer Peter Jerving And Alleged Armed Robbery Suspect Terrell Thompson A Minute Apart

It's an unusual chain of events in the Southside double homicide that was reported by both the Milwaukee Police  Department and the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office that have raised questions.

By H. Nelson Goodson 
Hispanic News Network U.S.A.

February 10, 2023

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - As of Friday, it isn't clear how the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office determined how Milwaukee Police Officer Peter Eric Christian Jerving, 37, was pronounced deceased at 1:52 a.m. on February 7, 2023 at Froedtert Memorial Hospital and alleged armed robbery suspect Terrell Isiah Thompson, 19, was pronounced deceased at 1:51 a.m. at the scene of a police officer and alleged suspect shooting scene at the 2700 block of S. 14th Street.

It seems that Police Officer Jerving was still alive after the shooting around 1:16 a.m. and was conveyed to the hospital for treatment where he eventually succumbed to his shooting injury. On the other hand, Thompson died at the scene and his body remained at the shooting crime scene until the crime reconstruction and forensic investigation was complete.

So, if the pronounced deceased times are accurate, it would mean that Officer Jerving was conveyed to the hospital for treatment and the alleged arm robbery suspect Thompson was left to die at the scene. God forbid that the deceased times used by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office are accurate because it would indicate neglect by both police and the Milwaukee Fire Department first responders to treat both the wounded officer and the suspect equally in receiving life-saving measures.

A social media video posted on February 7 by Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) with courtesy of Red Carmel, which many individuals unsuccessfully attempted to have removed shows life-saving measures being performed on Officer Jerving who was still alive at the scene of the shooting, but hardly shows any life-saving measures on Thompson who was just feet away from Officer Jerving.

Did Thompson died before Jerving was actually pronounced deceased? The Milwaukee police would actually know the time Thompson actually died at the scene before the Medical Examiner arrived to investigate and it might show the time of death between Thompson and Jerving to be extremely different. The Milwaukee Police Department has not released the exact time when Thompson actually died at the scene and police body video camera footage to show that both Officer Jerving and Thompson received equal life-saving measures at the scene because the social media video footage that was exclusively used by the HNNUSA News report allegedly indicates otherwise.

Also, HNNUSA reviewed Milwaukee Police call logs for late February 6, 2023 and early February 7, 2023, which are public and on February 6, it shows that police from district 4 responded to a robbery call at 11:31 p.m. at 3633 W. Good Hope Road, but what it doesn't show or gets logged on early February 7, of any calls of police responding to a location in the Sourhside of Milwaukee to seek a suspect for armed robbery or any police call logs that a shooting incident occurred at the 2700 block of S. 14th Street nor any police call logs were publicly recorded that a shotspotter was reported near the shooting area indicating shots were fired. Odd, isn't it.

Was Officer Jerving and his partner operating under a clandestine police and law enforcement task force, because there was nothing mentioned whether officers from the Southside police district 2 were backing up with the search and the arrest of Thompson. The only police call log recorded on February 7,  was at 5:32 a.m. for special assignment by district 2 at the 2700 block of S. 14th St. Also, how far behind was Jerving's partner during Thompson's chase who wasn't injured and didn't fire his weapon during Jerving's shooting.

Hopefully, a full police report and released police body camera footage will clear up the questions raised and why no police calls were posted in the public police call log before 5:32 a.m. that police responded to the 2700 block of S. 14th St. for a police involved shooting.

Point of interest, HNNUSA also learned that Milwaukee Fire Department EMS responders had a difficult time getting to the exact location of the shooting incident, indicating that it took longer to get to the police involved shooting, according to a source. If in fact that is true, then it would indicate time was of the essence to save both lives. But in reality, two young lives were lost, a devoted Milwaukee police officer and an alleged armed robbery suspect.

According to police, on Tuesday, February 7, 2023 at around 1:16 a.m. Milwaukee police officers from District 4 responded to the 2700 block of S. 14 Street location where a 19-year-old Black male armed robbery suspect wanted earlier for a robbery at the 3600 block of W. Good Hope Rd. was located. When officers arrived in the Southside of Milwaukee, the armed suspect fled on foot and when an officer caught up with the suspect, they began to struggle. The suspect fired his weapon striking the officer and the officer fired back striking the suspect.
